Here are some reviews of the training vendor.

We had taken Photoshop CS6 Level 1 on Nov 15 so knew essentially what to expect, even though what was initially supposed to be an “in-class instructor” session turned into a remote-instructed session.
We got to the Level 2&3 training site ahead of schedule on Nov 17 and were settled in for the 8:00 start time. There were problems with the training immediately.
• The instructor – Chris Motherwell in Ontario – was half an hour late logging into the “TrainLive solution.”
• When he did log in, he refused to use the CS6 training manual that we had been given.
• He had us spend time downloading his CS3 manual and labs, which took an additional 15-20 minutes.
• CS3 was released in 2007 and is 5 years older than the CS6 manual version we were supposed to be training on.
• There was no way for us to download the CS3 manual for use outside of the training session.
• While we were getting set up he had everyone (6 students in 3 locations) open Photoshop and “follow exercise 3.1” of his CS3 manual – use the brush tool to put star shapes on a black background – for 30 minutes. No other instruction was given during this time.
• Since we were doing this remotely, there was lag-time with my mouse. This makes it extremely difficult to do any of the fine detail work that Photoshop requires. It’s hard to place your mouse precisely when the cursor doesn’t move at first, then jumps around the screen with a half-second delay.
We spoke to the people running Logical Choice several times and they were at a loss to explain what was going on. Their expectation was that we would be taught CS6, and we were provided with that manual. They tried contacting him and Last Minute training to sort things out but were having no luck. At this point we had wasted close to two hours and felt that it would be a long time before anything was fixed. The instructor would not want to change manuals as he wasn’t familiar with the CS6 version. Any training that could now take place would be rushed and we would not get the full benefit of the course. Frustrated and seeing no solution presenting itself, we left.
We've had one good, and one very disappointing experience. We are booked to re-take this course at a later time. I hope it will be better with an in-class instructor.

I have taken many courses from Last Minute Training and have always been very impressed with the vendors they use.
Alex Donos was the instructor and was exceptional as an instructor. I would for sure take another course from him as he not only knows his "stuff" but he would continually tell the class to use "critical thinking" when using Excel.

I was not fond of the room we were in. It may have been because of the paramedic training/testing going on that day. It was a long hallway with a fan blowing to keep the air circulating. Looked like it was a makeshift set up. The computers could have been more up to date. Mine had to be serviced by an IT person during the session.

I was given a piece of paper to log in from Logical Operations with access key only to find out it is a "read only" document of Adobe Acrobat X.

I was the only person to register for this course in Ottawa, so they implemented their Microsoft award-winning TrainLive solution for my session. My instructor was in Toronto.

I was pretty disappointed and frustrated with this course. It's a level 2 course, and the course description says that the prerequisite is level 1. I did take a level 1 course at another organization over a year ago. I don't have any other Access experience and/or knowledge. I feel like I learned more in one day at the other Level 1 course than I did in both days with this Level 2 course. It was clearly catered to people with NO knowledge of Access. At the end of the 1st day, we were in the midst of creating a simple sub query on 1 table without relations!! What a waste of time. The first half of the first day was spent going over database theory, which would be fine, if it had been better presented and explained. I'm so glad I've got some background knowledge on database theory through university. I'm far from an expert, but I'm glad I wasn't learning database theory for the first time in that course because I don't think I'd have a very concrete understanding.
Also, I wish the instructor would think her thoughts through first before speaking. I've never heard someone cut themselves off mid-sentence, and change thoughts so many times before finishing a single idea. It's confusing, annoying, and makes it seem like she doesn't actually know what she's talking about.

Reviewed byJessica L.2015

I thought that this course would have been better if the instructor was able to apply Excel functions to real-life situations and examples in the context of common job functions. The instructor made us aware of various functions, and walked us through the syntax, but for an advanced-level course, I didn't find much value over and above spending the same amount of time just randomly exploring Excel and/or using Google to figure out what can be done. I believe that this course could have been taught more effectively by a different facilitator.

As usual, a lot of material to cover in one day. When taking a one-day course, one has to be prepared to work at a very fast pace in order to keep up with the instructor so that they can get through all of the material to be covered in one day. Amazingly enough, the instructor covered it all, because he knew the subject inside-out and was able to keep us moving at a fast pace, while still ensuring that we were all keeping up. We were all very impressed. I have downloaded the course book and will now review the material at my own slower pace. Thanks very much for a great course.

Although the instructor was knowledgable of the topics covered, it came across on occasions that she wasn't fully prepared since there were times when she would have to stop and think up an exercise for us to do in class.

The trainer was unfortunately late for the class through no fault of her own. Secondly, the class was full of technical issues trying to support the remote users. As a result the overall class time and content was reduced. We raced through the material.
Secondly - and more important - there was no roadmap presented on what we were going to learn. There was also no introduction to the software or interface. We just jumped straight into code and bounced from topic to topic with no roadmap. The instructor definitely knew her material but it came across as haphazard. I don't feel I got a lot from the day.

The seminar/course didn't cover all the subjects that were mentioned on the "course outline". I believe we only covered 75% of what was mentioned. I understand that the instructor was not prepared for teaching the course, but if the instructor doesn't have a firm knowledge of the software, then they shouldn't be teaching the course.
It is great to hear that a company is going green by using E-books but I prefer to have a hard copy. As an employee of a company, it is difficult to install the proper software to open/read the books. Also, an average user isn't authorized to install programs without going through their respective IT/Management departments. We should have been given an option to choose between a hard copy or electronic copy.
Overall, I would take another seminar if the instructor was more knowledgeable and abided by the course outline.

All in all, this training was not that great. The first part moved very slowly, and then toward the end, the instructor plowed through to get finished.
Possibly the most incredible part was that the course taught how to create forms, but not how to deploy or use them. The instructor said for that, participants would have to take the follow up course. What use is it to create forms if they can't be used?
No handouts at all? Other courses I've taken provide full books with step by step coverage of everything done in the classroom. It's impossible to go back and review things.

My most significant feedback is that the course was advertised as Working with Data using SQL for the 'non-database administrator'. Of the 10 course modules, nearly half were presented by the instructor as tasks that would be completed by a database administrator.

This two-day training was jam-packed with information, with a good balance between demonstrations and exercises to verify that the students understood the subject matter. I do not believe that the instructor could have used the time more efficiently then he did.

Project 2010 was a brand new course, as such there were a few things that the instructor could not find (in the new "ribbon" layout). He did spend extra time during his breaks to find what he couldn't before, then showed them to the class once we all returned. Overall, this was a very useful and enjoyable training course.

I took a course that was remote and I don't think that I would take a remote course again. The instructor didn't really make himself available for questions. Even when their was questions he would take them offline if they took more then 5 minutes to answer. Never brought the results back to the group. Never went over the labs just lectured in between. Didn't bother to learn anyone's name. I think the experience would be better if each user in the class had a headset and could speak to the instructor instead of it being a conference call.

CTC Train Canada was professional and helpful in ensuring I got the most out of my training course. Overall I am most happy with them.

The course was held via remote. The course it self was alright, all content was directly from the book. The teacher was in another time zone and he wanted to start the course before my location even opened. I told him that, he did it anyways. So I was out of sync the whole time. On the last day lunch was at 10 am! The instructor said he would watch screens to see when we got stuck. Not once did that happen. He couldnt even troubleshoot the labs. He only really talked to the student in the room, pretty much said nothing to rest of us. He even took personal calls!

Alot of material to cover in the course. I would recommend that this be a 2-day course. Re. course content - should contain more examples to work on. Before moving to another section in the course the Instructor should summarize what was covered (i.e. go through the steps required to complete each task). Task and steps should be given on a handout for future reference.

Did not find it helpful that no course material was handed out. What was learned on that day was easily forgotten without the ability to make notes to refer to.

It is great to have access to the online training manuals, but it would be nice to have some handouts for reference. Not everyone has time to do the online training or to consult the manuals. The training location is very convenient to the highway.
Lyse Brooks is an amazing instructor. She is extremely knowledgeable and patient. She spent time with each participant helping each person with their individual needs. She gave us a hands-on exercise that allowed us time to practice and learn. The instructor at the Intermediate Word course (same training facility) did not provide the same high level of training.

The instructor was very nice, personable and had a great sense of humour which made for a productive and pleasant day of learning.

The course is good for a basic overview of many advanced Excel features. The instructor and facilities were good. However, some of the items listed on the syllabus (new features in Excel 2010) were NOT covered and it wasn't due to a lack of time. I came to find out that the instructor had not planned to cover them at all. This was very disappointing, especially since we took very look breaks (easily almost 2 hours of combined break time in a class that went from 9-4) so there was ample time to cover the topics.

It was unfortunate that the local instructor was not available and I had to call in remotely to a class in Toronto. I did have the instructor screen available and I liked that. The first part of the course was helpful as the instructor moved through the functionality of MS Project and we could follow along on our own screen. I learned a lot about functionality with this instructor led demonstration, and the ability to follow along on my computer was great! I did find that after the first demonstration, a lot of time was spent working independantly, with the instructor available for questions. I thought there should have been more instructor led demonstration, perhaps one on our own, followed by another instructor led example. I didn't like spending well over 50% of the course time practicing on my own. If this is how all classes are run, I would not take another one, nor recommend this class.

With CTC can't go wrong. Although I've appreciated that this course took one day only. I really think that this course could be hosted for (1) day only. Two days is too long.
